AI Thread Summary
Using a ring crimp terminal is a suitable option for connecting a TCK type K thermocouple to a brass component at high temperatures, such as 200°C. Brass-made rings are recommended for durability and compatibility. Omega's assemblies utilize similar connections, indicating industry acceptance of this method. Overall, the ring crimp terminal provides a reliable and effective connection for thermocouples in high-temperature applications. This approach should meet the user's needs effectively.

Hi,

I need to connect my TCK type K to the brass component which has working temperature approximately 200degC.
I intend to drill/tap a hole in the brass (M3) and fix TCK to it with a bolt.

I wonder whether using ring crimp terminal as the tip for the termocouple would be a good option.

If yes, I think it would be good to use brass made rings.

What do you think? Is the ring crimp terminal a right choice as the connection tip for TCK type K?

Please help.
Thank you.
Regards

That should work just fine. Omega does just that with some of their assemblies. See their http://www.omega.com/pptst/WT.html.

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
